Robin Custom Action Figure

Hi Realmers!Good to be back with another custom!^_^Here's my take on Robin! A belated Christmas gift for my buddy, Osk, that I ended up completing this month…work's been hectic and free time is so sparse. :(

He's meant to go with my buddy's Justice League New 52 ArtFX statues, hence the metallic paint apps. Also, since the ArtFX statues tend to be taller than DCUC figures, Robin should look to scale next to the ArtFX statues. Of the different Robin outfits to choose from, I decided to go for this look.

+Head: DCUC Aquaman head with sculpted mask.+Body: Mostly a DCUC Green lantern body with lower legs from a DCUC Aquaman figure with fins sliced off the boots. Hands are from an unknown DCUC figure. Sculpted the 'R' on the chest. Used earplug wires around the neck, arms (for gloves) and calves (for boots).+Belt: Made from a black cable tie. Sculpted the buckle. The pellet dispensers on his belt are bullets from a fodder ammo belt.+Shoulder pads and wrist pads: Sculpted the pads and glued bullets from a fodder ammo belt.+Cape: Made from both a black vinyl fabric and yellow fabric with inserted wires to allow for dynamic poses. Once the cape was secured unto Robin, I had to sculpt the area around the neck and back to give the illusion that the cape wraps around his neck.+Staff: Made from a metal round rod bought at Home Depot. Using a dremel, I cut off a piece of the rod to make the staff.

In one of the pics, he's faced off against the INCREDIBLE Fast Freddie's TMNT Leonardo which I am so fortunate to own. Go check out Fast Freddie's masterpieces! His works-of-art are truly inspirational! ^_^

I'm really honored that you're interested in commissioning me for a Red Robin. Unfortunately, I'm super busy at the moment with my full-time job and barely have enough time for the few customs that I'm currently working on. THANK you so much for your interest, though.

Thanks ShadyBone1! That's a great question...I actually looked through different renditions of Robin and decided to go for this one without really meaning for him to be Tim, Drake, Jason or Damian. He actually looks good, and to scale, next to my friend's ArtFX Batman 1:10 statue, as he stands shorter than the Batman statue. Good hearing from you, my friend.

im really digging ur new stuff necro!!! robin looks great and I love how u can repurpose everyday items that u find laying around the house,and incorporate them into ur figures!!! its good to see ur new customs brother!!!

The use of earplug wires and that fodder ammo belt for texture is really clever and I really like how he came together, it's more built than most versions of Tim as Robin but I love it! The paint work is beautiful as well.

Very cool looking Robin. I like the choice of head and the paints look awesome. Let me know when you will have some free time I still want to collaborate on new project. I know I dropped the ball last time.

Hey Supra! Awesome to hear from you, bro! I am working on a few projects at the moment, but we can start now, brother. IM me when you can, my friend. I'd love to do another collaboration with the SUPER Suprasizeme!
